Creating Confident Children

At The Wallace High School Preparatory Department and Pre-Prep, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional primary and pre-preparatory education in a warm, inclusive environment.

Our vision, Creating Confident Children, shapes a school experience where pupils are encouraged to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We follow a holistic, whole-child approach that balances high academic standards with strong pastoral care, tailored learning support, and a deep commitment to developing each child’s confidence, and creativity.

Children benefit from a rich and varied curriculum that includes extensive sporting, musical, and artistic opportunities, alongside an exciting outdoor learning programme that promotes curiosity, resilience, and wellbeing. Our distinctive location affords pupils rich opportunities for outdoor education, complemented by direct access to the extensive resources of the Grammar School.

Underpinned by our CORE values—Commitment, Opportunity, Respect, and Excellence—Wallace Prep offers a nurturing, future-focused education where every child is known, valued, and inspired.

We hope this website gives you a glimpse of the vibrant life at our school—but nothing compares to experiencing it in person. We’d be delighted to welcome you for a visit and show you all that Wallace Prep has to offer. To arrange a tour, please contact the office on 028 9267 2311 or email prep@wallacehigh.net.


We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Mrs Anna Patterson
Head of Preparatory Department

Our P5 and P6 classes teamed up for an exciting STEM lesson with Miss McDonagh. They tackled a classic head-scratcher: Why do small coins sink, while massive steel boats stay afloat? 🌊 ⛴️ It was great to see the pupils collaborating, testing their theories, and diving deep into the world of buoyancy and displacement. Great work, everyone! #STEM #PrimarySchool #FutureScientists #LearningTogether #WallacePrep

Our school transformed into a living library today as we celebrated World Book Day. From incredible costumes to the quiet magic of the whole school reading together, it has been a day to remember. The hallways were alive with literary spirit and amazing creativity from every year group. Keep a close eye on our feed for the big reveal of our whole school story. It is currently travelling through the classrooms being written one chapter at a time, and we cannot wait to share the finished masterpiece with you. #WorldBookDay #ReadingForPleasure #WallacePrep

Yesterday morning, the hockey boys competed in the Pearson Cup Qualifiers, taking on five matches against some exceptionally strong opposition. 🏑 You should be immensely proud of all you have achieved. 💪 A huge thanks to Mr Cockram for generously giving his time to coach the team and for sharing his expertise and encouragement with the boys.
Yesterday the girls' hockey team took part in the Ulster hockey McCloy Cup Qualifiers, playing seven matches against a range of teams from the Lisburn area. 🏑 Throughout the competition, they recorded a mix of wins, draws and losses, but most importantly, they demonstrated outstanding determination, teamwork and resilience in every game. A big thank you to Mr McBride for generously giving his time to coach and support the team. Well done, girls - you should be incredibly proud of your efforts and achievements! 💪
What a fabulous session at Forest School! We made the most of the calm, dry conditions and embarked on some den building. Fantastic team work on display not to mention an abundance of creativity! Everyone had a great time and there was even some time to sit back, relax and do some squirrel spotting! 🐿️ ⛺️ 🌳
